🏃♀️QCM WEEKEND RECAP! 🏃♂️
A little late getting this one posted… but with the GMS Queen City Marathon expo booth, hydration station, and all the excitement of race weekend, we were a little too busy living the weekend to recap it! 😅
On Saturday, we kicked off QCM weekend with a special 8:00 AM shakeout parkrun at Wascana, bringing the running community together for an easy run, some pre-race chatter, and plenty of familiar faces.
We were thrilled to be joined by Stride Squad, Fat Fathers Run Club, and Ultra Addiction — making it a great opportunity to run together, connect with local clubs, and get those legs moving before race day. 🙌
And when we polled the group, it was clear that the majority of our 82 participants were gearing up to take on the GMS Queen City Marathon! 🏅
📊 Saturday’s stats:
🏃 82 total participants
⭐ 12 personal bests
👋 12 first timers
🦺 1 milestone -100 Volunteers
Whether you were shaking out the legs before your big race, chasing a PB, joining us for your very first parkrun, or simply enjoying the running community — we were so happy to have you there!
And what a weekend it was! ❤️
From parkrun to the expo to cheering on runners and keeping everyone hydrated at the station, Wascana parkrun was proud to be part of QCM weekend.
Congratulations to everyone who raced, volunteered, cheered, and supported the running community! 🎉
What a way to spend race weekend! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Special shout out to all our volunteers for making this weekend possible!
